Parish President Reinstates OEP Director

President of The Evangeline Parish Police Jury, Ryan Ardoin, has reinstated 911 Director, Liz Hill, back in to the dual role of Office of Emergency Preparedness Director.  KVPI News has spoken with Ardoin who says he feels it was the “right thing to do.”  He stated “Ms. Hill has worked very hard for the Parish and is very good at what she does.  She has not done anything wrong or out of the ordinary and I believe she needs to remain in the position.”  Ms. Hill resigned from the position during an open Police Jury meeting Monday after what numerous Jurors describe as a “minor situation blown out of proportion.”  Ardoin reports that Ms. Hill has agreed to continue her work with the Jury.  Tune in Friday at Noon as we sit down and talk to the Parish President about the situation and other things happening in Evangeline Parish.

Ville Platte Landmark Home Destroyed in Fire Thursday Night

Fire investigators with the Ville Platte Fire Department with help from the state fire marshal’s Office are investigating the cause of the fire that damaged the Dr. R.E. Dupre home on West Main Street Thursday night. The landmark home constructed in the late 1920’s or early 1930’s by Dr. Dupre had been vacant for the past few years.

VILLE PLATTE CITY COUNCIL HOLDS IS APRIL MEETING

The Ville Platte City Council held its monthly meeting Tuesday at City Hall.  There was some dispute and confusion as the owners of the Empire Nightclub, Frank Miller and Davina Davis, spoke to the Council and the Mayor regarding the granting of a business permit so they can re-open the bar.  Mr. Miller stated they have spent approximately $30,000.00 renovating the bar and are ready to open.  The nightclub is located in the area on West Main where the old Sonic is located.  The Mayor reported to the owners that they are not able to issue a business permit to them because of the City Ordinance stating that they cannot because the business is not at least 300 feet from 2 residences.  Mr. Miller then questioned how far that the Bulldog Sports Bar is from a residence.  He stated that he measured it himself and it is located less than 100 ft.  He stated that if “that’s the case, then we need to make sure everyone is held to that rule.”  He also presented a letter from the resident near the business with approval of opening the business.  He was asked to meet with the City Attorney, Eric Lafleur, with his findings and that he needed to have done his “due diligence in regard to opening a bar.”  We will keep you updated on the matter as it develops.

 

On a happy note, the Mayor and the City Council announced that they are doing “the right thing” and raising the City’s Minimum Wage from $7.25 to $8.00.  The increase in pay will be effective in the next fiscal year beginning in September, but could come earlier than that.  The City also announced they have granted a 3% increase in pay for salaried employees which will take effect next pay period.  It was also announced that the insurance premiums for employees will be going up 8%, but like last year when the rates rose 6%, the City will not be passing those costs on to the employees.  There will also be no deductible on the drug portion of their insurance.

 

Mayor, Jennifer Vidrine, reported that expenditures for the month of March was $307,186.46 compared to the month of February at $216,348.81.  That is an increase of $90,837.65.  The Mayor reported that the increase was due to the major water breaks in the Sewer System and the water well problems that the city has been experiencing.  She was happy to report that the Sales Tax Collection was up 4.86% from March of last year.  She thanked local business owners and those who shop locally. 

 

The City Council approved six new full-time and 2 part-time officers The Ville Platte City Police Department.  If all new hires pass all required testing, that will bring the number of officers to 30 fulltime and 18 patrolmen.  Fire Chief, Chris Harrison, reported that the department’s new recruit, Kyle Dupre, has completed the Academy and is now working.  It was noted that Kyle received the Teamwork Award while at the Academy.

Police Chief Neil Lartigue Speaks at Rotary Club Meeting

VILLE PLATTE POLICE CHIEF SPEAKS AT ROTARY CLUB

APRIL 5, 2016

 

     Ville Platte Chief of Police Neil Lartigue was the guest speaker at today’s (Tuesday’s) meeting of the Rotary Club of Ville Platte.

      Chief Lartigue said the crime rate is down in the city thanks to a large part because of having more police officers on the street. The chief said the mayor and city council is allowing the police more overtime to have more a police presence. In high crime areas, the department has begun a foot patrol unit.

     The police department is having a difficult time getting recruits to pass a psychological evaluation. On average, only one in six police recruits are passing the insurance required exam.

     Despite cuts to the Dare drug education program in schools, the police chief said he is planning to keep the Dare program being taught in our local schools. He said “DARE is an effective program and works well.”

     He said some of his personnel is actively involved in community projects such as Cops for A Cure, Relay for Life and an annual School Supply Drive for under privileged youth in the community.

     He shared the following statistics for the year 2015: 7057 calls, 457 citations, 706 arrests, 167 felony arrests and the police department worked 541 traffic accidents.

    Chief Lartigue was the special guest of Rotarian Ronnie Landreneau.

Evangeline Parish Police Jury Hacked by Use of Ransomware

KVPI News has been gathering information on a recent “hacking” of the Evangeline Police Jury’s computer system.  According to Secretary/Treasurer, Donald Bergeron, the staff came in one morning and no one could access WORD files and other files.  The hackers used what’s known as Ransomware to target the Jury.  Basically, the hackers use Ransomware to “hijack” files and then demand money from big businesses all the way down to municipalities to gain re-access to their files.  Bergeron stated that there is a Louisiana Data Base Breach Law and after meeting with an unknown law enforcement agency, he was told their case did not meet the criteria of that law that required the police, public or employees to be notified.  He reported that their documents were “encrypted but not taken from them.”  Bergeron also stated that the Employee Data Base was not breached; however, he asked that employees “be cautious, as always”.  The Police Jury will be sending out a letter to all employees on the matter.  We will keep you updated with any new details as they become available.

Evangeline Parish Police Jury April Meeting and 911 Update

The Evangeline Parish Police Jury held meetings today beginning at 3:30.  There was much discussion regarding 911 services and the transition being made into the new facility as well as the task of changing how 911 calls and non-emergency calls are dispatched.  Sheriff, Eddie Soileau, will no longer be dispatching for other municipalities and that has shifted how calls are handled.  Assistant District Attorney and Counsel for the Communications Board, Nicole Gil, spoke to a crowded Jury room filled with emergency personnel ranging from Pine Prairie, Turkey Creek, Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office, Ward 5, Mamou, Ville Platte, Chataignier, Lone Pine, Bayou Chicot, St. Landry, as well as the 911 department and Board.  Because the Sheriff is not going to provide dispatching for outside entities any longer, each municipality will need to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with 911.  Each municipality was given a Draft Agreement to present to each Board of Directors for approval.  Once all of the agreements come back from those Boards, they will then be presented to the Police Jury for final approval.  911 Director, Liz Hill, explained that due to law enforcement calls being added into the equation, her office had to apply for NCIC approval which takes approximately 6 month to gain, although she stated they are on the fast-track to obtain that approval, it is now at the federal level and she is not certain of when approval will be.  She wanted the public to know that “There was never a possibility that citizens would not have 911 services.  She said she does not know where that rumor came from but she has answered calls from citizens who said they were “scared” and there is no reason to be.  Another meeting has been set for June 6th; however, they are hoping to get all of the agreements back before that date.  A special meeting will be called if they are successful.  Juror, Eric Soileau, thanked everyone for coming and said the input was a big help.  “It needed to happen”

 

In other Jury news, Secretary/Treasurer, Donald Bergeron, reported that 12 customers of the Reddell/Vidrine Water District who were extremely delinquent in paying their sewer bill were contacted that they would be cut-off for non-payment.  10 of those customers have made contact and made arrangements to pay their bills which will bring in approximately $20.000.
